Phenomenal Cures
Bv Dr.. Gage.

No wonder DIR. Gage enjoys such wide spread
popularity and confidence for never in the history
of medical science have such astounding results
been achieved. He makes idle boasts but
brings the evidence to doors of his superior
skill in his chosen speciality. Nor does he demand
enormous fees in advance and make great prom
ses never to be fulfilled, which we are sorry to
say is too often the case with INSCRIPTIONS pre-
tenders who come once and never again.
On the contrary DR. Gage is frank and honest in all
his dealings, and repeats his visits regularly as
others would do if they had confidence in their
ability to accomplish what they promise. Or.
Gage has of cases in midst like the fol-
lowing;
Miss l.. Ola Turner, of Berlin. Vt. had an injury
to the spine, and had not walked borne her

saw her.

The Doctors Disagreed.

AS an illustration of the old saying
that "doctOrs will differ" the following
is related by a physician of unquestiOn-
ed veracity, says II London paper: In
the course of II lecture which he was
delivering before Il number of students,
he had brought in by the mother a
child six months old, which he stated,
was suffering from very peculiar at
lection -One seldom seen in this cOun-
try-and he requested i've of the stu
dents present each separately to dag
nose the case.
The first gave it as his medical be
lief that the child was suffering from
incipient pneumonia; the second, after
examination, pronounced it incipient
diphtheria the third staked his repu-
tatiOn upon its being perit0nitis the
fourth called it marasmus, while the
fifth said it was "malaria." When
they had each made q careful examina-
ton the lecturer said:
"Well, gentlemen, have you any
thing further to say in regard to the
case 2"
"Nothing more than has been al
ready said," was the reply from each.
''Well, said he, taking the little one
and holding it up before them, "this is
a child that has never had "a days sick
ness since it's birth. 1t is the most
perfectly healthy child that l have
ever SEEM"

Harvey was now sought after by lead
ing men of the state, and his sound
democracy was appealed to frequently
during the senatorial struggle. He
was asked to lend his influence and
good judgment in Strengthening out
the differences in the party. What
the future of man with such immense
energy and discretion will be it is
hard to predict, but there can be no
doubt that, as an individual, his infiu-
ence will be felt in years to come,
whether at the head of great metro
politan newspaper or in some high of
flee, it is uncertain, but everyone who
has met him has been impressed with
very high opinion of his ability and
good sense. Excellent offers from
many quarters have been made to Mr..
Harvey but he clings to The World,
and is liked by every employee con
nected with the paper. There are no
favOrites, but strict attention to duty
is the only claim to consideration. Mr..
Harvey has done considerable literary
work, one of his stories in st. Nicholas
entitled elbow Science Won the Came
being especially well received.

Senators with Literary Tastes.

Senator Brown is good Baptist and
likes to write religious articles for the
Baptist papers.
Senator Blair often contributes arti-
cles to the magazines on education and
temperance topics.
Senator Morrill, has recently publish
ed book which shows fine literary
taste and a charming style.
Senator Ingalls, takes great pains to
make his contributions attractive, and
seldom refuses n publishers request for
his views.
Senator Dawes is very fond of writ
ing, and nothing delights him more
than IL request for an article on Indian
affairs, on which he is well informed.
Senator Edmunds writes briefly and
forcibly. He is not fond of writing, but
occasionally Il publisher induces him
to state his views on some subject.
Senator Wade Hampton, although
fond of writing, cannot be said to be
successful as IL literary man. His style
is clumsy and his use of words is not
always the best. When one of his ar
ticles is published he buys one hmm
dred or more copies of the magazine
and distributes them among his friends.

before Judge Carter. the counsel for
General Thomas procured delay for
a few days, and bail was given for his
appearance.
The democrats were much exasper-
ated by the tenure of Office law, and
think they very generally believed it
to be unconstitutional. They conclud-
ed this case of General Thomas would
give an opportunity for speedy de-
cision of the validity of the law by
having Gen. Thomas decline to furnish
bail and be committed, and then
brought before the court by writ of
habeas corpus. Everything was ar
ranged accordingly, and on the day
Thomas's case came up before Judge
Carter, Thomas and his counsel ap-
peared before Judge Carter with con-
siderable pOmp and array, and the
counsel announced that General Thorn
as would waive any examination be-
fore Judge Carter, and would decline
to furnish further bail, and the judge
could order him committed for want of
bail. But Judge Carter, | presume,
had knowledge of their purpose be-
fOrehand at any rate, he was quite
equal to the occasion and ready TO
save his friends and party from the di-
lemma. On the announcement by
Thomas counsel that he would decline
to furnish bail and he could order him
committed, Judge Carter, with his pc
culiar twinkle of the eye and his inim
liable stammer, said: ooh, l know
General Thomas, he is my neighbOr.
There is not the slightest danger he
will leave the country, and not be here
,Inn nf
bail or commitment, and shan't make
any order for any," So far as know
this was the end of the prosecution
against General Thomas. How rapid
ly things went on from this night to
the impeachment and trial of Presl-
dent johnson are matters of public
history.
| suppose this was without doubt
the first prosecution under the tenure
of office law, and do not know but
the only one. A day or two after the
papers were made they were published
in a paper in Washington. The paper
assumed they were made by Mr.. STAN
ton, and indulged in some fulsome lau-
dation of their style and skill.
A day or two after | met Mr.. Stan
ton and he said the newspapers had
been making him steal my thunder,
and he would have it corrected. L
told him it was quite too trivial thing
to need any explanation, and not to
trouble himself to do it.
A year or two ago | was introduced
to Mr.. WorthingtOn in Washington,
who was then the United States attOr
ney for the district. He told me that
he was one of the clerks in the war de-
partment, and one of those present on
the night in question, and his memory
of who were present, and what was
said and done was far more specific
than mine. He told me also that the
complaint and warrant which L drew
that night and upon which Thomas
was arrested, were now in his possess
sion and carefully preserved as me-
mentos of critical period in public
affairs. Nearly all those who partici-
pated in the events of that day have
passed over. | have never seen, as L
recollect, any attempt to give the
events of that night in the war depart

Mexico no bright future 2 Hope,
yes. The agricultural and manufact-
ured productions of the country are
increasing. The commerce of the re
public is growing, and trade with for
eign countries is extending itself. The
financial condition of the country is
improving; it has less of revolutions
and civil wars the church has lost it's
hold, and there is a young Mexico that
is exerting itself to emancipate the
country from the blighting influence
of the Church of Rome. Roman Cath
olicisnl, which, under Spanish inhu-
ence, was alone tolerated, is no longer,
since 1927, the State religion. All
churches now enjoy equal protection
under the law. Education is making
marked progress. The old University
of Mexico, modelled after Salamanca,
is abolished, and in it's place are schools
of law, medicine, letters, agriculture,
mines, science, fine arts, and commerce,
and military college. There are two
hundred lower schools in the city of
Mexico, and others in all the larger
towns maintained by the State-in all,
nearly five thousand public schools.
But what ii long and dreary task is it
to move this inert, ignorant mass of
eight millions of mixed and Indian
population, with every device of All in
famous church and a miserable priest
hood TO resist progress, because edu-
cation and progress mean emancipation
from religious bigOtry and church
power. Reform will come to Mexico,
but it will come slowly, and the revo-
luton now inaugurated against the in
science of Rome will never go back
ward. Rome has lost its hold in our
sister republic, and gradually the in
tiuence of the cock fighting priest, whose
house is kept by his niece and whose
family call him "uncle," will be relax

one thing | formed AN unqualified
opinion, and that is, that We do not
want the whole or any part of Mexico
to be added to our country. The land
is well enough, but we do not want its
people and it any political adventur
ers at NOgales or Ell PasO endeavor to
eInbroil US in difficulty with our sis

High Priced Doctors.

Miss Wolfe, the hopeless invalid,
owner of $4,000, 900, pays DR.. William
Todd Helmuth $1,000 year to doctor
her Mrs. Alexander II. Stewart re-
tanned three doctors at an aggregate
cost of at least $40,000, and called in
one of them nearly every day. Mrs.
William Aston pays to DR.. FOrdyce
Barker annually an average $40, 900,
always sending a check for double or
treble the amount of each bill render
ed. Her idea is that by rewarding his
skill and vigilance literally she will
get the very best service of which he
is capable. Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bits physician is DR.. w. S. Belden,
and though her health is excellent he
is consulted often, prevention being
preferable to cure, doubtless, and the
belief is that the prevention costs not
less than $4,000 annually.

to be maintained. There seems to be
too much land lying along this coast
between Puget Sound and the Gulf of
California to sell by the s'front foot"
as they are now doing in Southern
California, but if | change my opinion
after looking the country over more
thoroughly shall claim the privilege
of saying so. Meanwhile if any man
claims all the climate, soil, fruits, ETC.,
for any particular town or locality, do
not believe him this is great country
and much of it is very good.
At Pasadena your correspondent
found the community greatly stirred
over "malicious falsehOOds" one of
your honorable citizens had circulated
about their town and much elated over
the answer another citizen had made.
The writer of this letter was so fOrtu-
nate as not to have seen either report
alluded to and was thereby debarred
from sitting on the case but it is not
very difficult to see that a town would
look entirely different to man who
was making more money i'll it in three
months than he did selling goods in
st. JOhnsbury in ten years, from what
it would to one who could make "nary
a red" in the same town.
l hope to have the opportunity to
look over this section of country more
thoroughly, and in justice to your
readers generally, and especially to
future, the California fever, | shall
write what seem to me to be the facts
in regard to it. G. NJ. STONE.

not to act unless certain demands were
complied with. The manager told her
that he was Minister of Police as well

She took refuge in a frenzy of tears,

The Tomb of Thaddeus Stevens.
Correspondence of Troy Press.


At the southwest corner of Chest
nut and Mulberry streets, in the city
OF Lancaster, Pa, may be seen q small
cemetery, embracing not more than an
acre of ground, and within this enclos-
ure Is the grave and simple monument
to mark the spot where lies all that Is
mortal of Thaddeus Stevens. The
monument is constructed of granite,
upon the granite Oblong base rests a
granite substructure, fashioned after
the design of a "catafalque." The ex
treme length and height of the struct-
ure is probably 10 feet long and 10 feet
high. 1t is placed in nearly the centre
of plat, the dimensions of which are
Is by 30 feet, enclosed by plain but
massive coping of granite. The sides
of the catafalque are panelle | (sunken).
The top of each panel is bordered with
heavily carved representation of dra-
perry, slightly dropping. These SYM
bols are finished in jet black, in imi-
tation of IL pail. The grave is apart
from the monument, and to the east.
The head of the grave is to the west,
and near the base of the monument.
| observed the grave is well rounded,
and with fresh earth only, giving the
impression that the interment had been
of recent date. A tiny flag placed at
the head and suspended from a short
staff, Indicated the remembrance in
which Mr.. Stevens was, and still is
held, by the veterans of the Grand
Army residing in Lancaster.
| was myself much Interested in the
inscription upon this simple monument
and | give it to your readers in full.
On the south panel is the following:
THADDBUs STEVENS

Upon the opposite side is the follow
